Performing, part 1.

As stated in the previous chapter, Giada is based on the concepts of channels. A channel can contain one sample (a sample channel) or MIDI events (a MIDI channel) and you manage it through some actions and play modes.

An action could be the pressure of a key, the switch of the mute button and so on. Almost all of them can be recorded during the action recording process or manually crafted in the action editor.

Play modes are basically two: loop or one shot and they define the nature of sample channels. Play modes, behaviors and statuses for each type of channel will be covered thoroughly in Channels and samples and Channels and MIDI paragraphs.

Making music with Giada

Giada gives you the ability to play in several ways, described below.

Of course all of the previous modes can be combined together, according to your style and liking.
